Hi Guys.
1) Do you guys know where I can get a hold of a inexpensive used or decent new water injection system for under 250$? Are there other units besides Aquamist that are reliable and less expensive? Adding water injection will it rid me of detonation or just help a little? Can I run lower octane gas with water injection? When I run 92 Octane I detonate at low red boost when I run 89 octane I detonate at mid yellow boost, my timing is set at 15% plugs are gapped properly, new plugs wires distributer cap and coil.
2)Has anyone had experience with toluene or other inexpensive bulk octane boosters ? I live in California and the gas here has a special EMT additive and the octane seems quite weak. Is toluene safe for my older high mileage Saab, I don't want to hurt my seals, Cat ect ect ect?
